Create a web site (two or more pages) about a topic of your choosing. The topic can relate to your work (something for your students or colleagues, for example), or to a hobby or interest. No personal/family sites or family photos.
It will be helpful first to view the tutorials provided at Web D&D
Launch Dreamweaver or KompoZer.
Create a new Dreamweaver site or KompoZer page.
Before you save your first page, create a new folder on your hard drive (or wherever you save files). Name the folder yourlastlastnamewa1 [no spaces in folder names or file names!]
Save your HTML documents in that folder. Save your home page as index.html. Save other pages using meaningful names [no spaces in file names!]
Place all HTML documents, images and media in that main folder BEFORE you link to them! (Remember: All file names should be one word, no punctuation, no underlines. This includes HTML files and image files such as jpegs.)
Following the competency worksheet, demonstrate your skills. At a minimum, you should include relevant elements of Levels One and Two. This will require two or more web pages. Avoid creating a long page that requires excessive scrolling by the user!
You should post your site on your registered domain. Remember that you will NOT post it on the top level of your domain. You should be able to upload your entire folder and that will create a new directory. Then your URL will read something like "www.jonesedtech.info/joneswa1/index.html" [Think about this...! Also see examples below.]
Part II: Description of process and challenges and new knowledge.
Create a new wiki page (wa1) on your wikispaces site and post a link to your site. Then do the following:
1. Write a brief description of the steps you followed to create the web site.
2.. Provide reasoning for your design choices with specific references to the Web Style Guide (opens a new window) or other provided materials on web design. You should list a minimum of five design choices and why.
We will use a rubric for critiques of WA1: https://goo.gl/JEPoi8
Then, we will use the results of these critiques of WA1to create WA2 which will be a modification of WA1.
Important:
Avoid the use of copyrighted images, sounds, templates, etc.
All file names should be one word, no punctuation, no underlines.
Using meaningful file names. For example, if an image from your digital camera is named "IMG_5307b.jpg", change it to something meaningful.
All files should be in your main folder )lastnamewa1) and possibly subfolders before you create links to them.
If you are using a CSS template, be sure all files and folders are inside the CSS template folder!
Note that we will critique this first draft (WA1) and make modifications for a second draft (WA2) later.
Below are examples of WA1 from previous classes. Notice the URLs for these personal sites!
